Your PSU sucks. Get one of the better ones listed here.

Three suggestions

1. Swap out that Cooler Master PSU for one from XFX. Cooler Master PSUs are manufactured by a variety of vendors with mixed quality while XFX PSUs are manufactured by Seasonic which are the gold standard for reliability. Same wattage is fine.

2. Spend a few extra dollars and get a Western Digital Black HDD rather than a Western Digital Blue HDD.

3. Spend a few extra dollars and get a GeForce GTX 760 rather than a 660, or a Radeon HD 7870.

Some Nvidia is Way overpriced. Get an AMD 7870. Way cheaper! Get a PSU by corsair or XFX. You can find pretty cheap ones. If You want, you can get an AMD FX-8350. 8 cores clocked at 4ghz stock. Since games can use up to 6 cores. More future proof.
